EmbeddedEngineer Automation Demo

A demonstration project showcasing automated code generation and deployment using EmbeddedEngineer Automation from LieberLieber Software GmbH.

🚀 Overview

This project demonstrates how to integrate EmbeddedEngineer Automation into a CI/CD pipeline for automated model-driven development. It includes:

• Traffic Light Example: A complete embedded system model demonstrating state machines and code generation
• Automated Deployment: GitHub Actions workflow that deploys EmbeddedEngineer and runs automation
• License Management: Secure handling of EmbeddedEngineer licenses via GitHub secrets
• Cross-Platform Build: MSBuild integration for building generated C++ code

📋 Features

• ✅ Automated model processing and code generation
• ✅ GitHub Actions CI/CD integration
• ✅ License file management
• ✅ C++ project building with MSBuild
• ✅ Artifact publishing
• ✅ Comprehensive error handling and validation

🛠️ Prerequisites

• GitHub Repository with Actions enabled
• EmbeddedEngineer License (stored as EEALICENSE secret)
• Windows Environment (for C++ builds)
• PowerShell (for deployment scripts)

🚀 Quick Start

1. Repository Setup

git clone https://github.com/LieberLieber/EmbeddedEngineer.Automation.Demo.git
cd EmbeddedEngineer.Automation.Demo

2. GitHub Secrets Configuration

Add the following secret to your GitHub repository:

• EEALICENSE: Your EmbeddedEngineer Automation license string

3. Local Development

# Run local deployment test
.\testlocal.ps1

# Deploy EmbeddedEngineer
.\scripts\Deploy-EmbeddedEngineer.ps1 -LicenseString "your-license-here"

4. Run Automation

# Execute EmbeddedEngineer Automation
.\eea\EmbeddedEngineer.Automation.exe --Model .\TraficLight.github.qeax --License .\eea.lic --PackageGuid "{904EF962-C541-4627-A463-AD6F1328BFB3}"

🔧 GitHub Actions Workflow

The CI/CD pipeline automatically:

1. Deploys EmbeddedEngineer from Nexus repository
2. Validates License and creates license file
3. Runs Model Automation on TrafficLight model
4. Builds Generated Code using MSBuild with VS2022 toolset
5. Publishes Artifacts for download

Workflow Triggers

• Push to main or develop branches
• Manual workflow dispatch available

Build Configuration

• Platform: x64 Release
• Toolset: Visual Studio 2022 (v143)
• SDK: Latest available Windows SDK
